He is sure darn cute! I would like a rat, but we've decided no more rodent pets. They're so smart and you get so attached to their little personalities, that it's heartbreaking when they go. 
Hairless need to be kept a little warmer and have access to wamrer bedding. We used to give the hairless hamsters at petsmart (when I worked there ages and ages ago) the reminants of the toliet paper rolls. When there were about a dozen or so sheets left, we'd pull the roll and let them have the whole thing. They'd chew up the cardboard and TP. My regular hamsters that I personally owned enjoyed this greatly as well.
Most rodents potty train easy, so get a 'corner box' and put in in the corner where it goes frequently. Scoop the soiled bedding (aspen or that carefresh/eco stuff, no pine or cedar as others have mentioned) into the box and it will get the idea quickly. This is wonderful because you can just dump the box daily and it will keep the odors in cage down dramatically! The only downside to rodents is that their pee smells, but that is easily controled with cage and litterbox cleanings.
